[Rousset's long-awaited new recording from Alpha! Pergolège as a masterpiece of the Neapolitan school with Piot] Christophe Rousset, whose visit to Japan in the fall of 2019 was also a great success nationwide, is releasing an unexpected new recording on Alpha. The program features Pergolesi's lifetime masterpiece "Stabat Mater" alongside selected masterpieces by two master composers of the same Neapolitan musical school. The previous recording was all about Pergolesi, and this will shed new light on his masterpieces. The restrained beauty of the two solo singers and simple string orchestra quickly won acclaim in Naples and beyond. The work's restrained beauty with two soloists and a simple string orchestra quickly won high acclaim outside of Naples. One of the soloists is Sandrine Piau! The coupling is a solo motet by Porpora, one of the most popular composers in Naples, whose experience in opera is reflected in church music, and a work of the same kind by Leo, whose religious music is rare.The project is a must-see for the true face of the "Neapolitan Pergolesi," and Dinko Fabris, a leading researcher of the Neapolitan school of music, has written a commentary.
